(Closed) Tell me something interesting about you…

Okay, it’s the end of the workday for me and I’m just really trying to make it through here. I figured a fun way to pass the time would be able to know something unique about some of you (obviously only if you so choose to share).

I’ll go first: I am synaesthetic. Synaesthesia is where two or more of your senses “overlap”. These experienes vary from one synaesthete to the next. Researchers think it’s genetic, and as such, my mom is also synaesthetic. Her experiences are similar yet not entirely the same as mine.

I dont really have anything cool like that, but my mom and I have predictive dreams sometimes (I havent had one in a really long time) My grandma has had them too so I think it probably just runs in our family. My dad used to be a skeptic except that he has witnessed us do it so frequently that now he is a true believer…. He always takes us WAY seriously so now i know NOT to tell him if I had a dream about him dying! (I can always tell the difference between a predictive dream and a dream dream… so no use scaring the guy!) 😛

@SweetartMD: lol Actually, mine is more of a taste. I taste colors. That’s one of my “overlaps”. Some synaesthetes can smell colors though. Like I said, it’s different for everyone.

That’s kind of cool that you have those dreams. I tend to be more of a skeptic by nature, but I also know there’s a lot of stuff out there that we can’t explain (to put it plainly haha), and I think it’s interesting that you, your mom and grandmother all have predictive dreams. =)

Premonition. Not in dream form, but actual premonition. I don’t consider myself psychic because I have no control over it but I can predict random things like irrelevant conversations days before they happen. Now if only I could predict important stuff!

@Aquaria: Another precognitive bee! I’d be terrified to have any sort of that ability. I’m susceptible to overthinking things as it is. I can’t imagine trying to outsmart my own future. I think the time-space continuum would be royally screwed if I got my hands on it.

@habibti: Velvety, overly sweet with a touch of sour and very very rich. You aren’t missing out on anything with purple. =p That’s interesting that you’re trained in the hazmat suit! Definitely not something you hear about every day!!

@runningcali: So I gotta ask…. how is that possible? Is that extra little guy like hitching a ride on one of the knuckles or what?

@redheadedstranger: I read a book where the main character and her mom had Synaesthesia, i had never heard of it before and found it really interesting! Only in this book colors had feelings, like when she was sad everything was orange (or something similar) that really cool!

I was raised in Canada but born in Australia – talk about different climates! lol Also, I have a birthmark on my foot that looks like a cornflake 🙂 haha

I am a SLIder (Street Light Interference). When I pass under certain street lights they will turn off. I have no control over it and it’s very unpredictable. I have noticed if I’m emotional it tends to happen more though.

Also, I have two different colored eyes. One is completely blue and the other is half brown, half blue. Both my parents have blue eyes. It’s very strange!

@LovelyLee: oh that is SOO cool! Both of your interesting things are more interesting than my whole life! (in a totally awesome way) I love your eye, thats wicked! Do you know what causes the street lights to go out? is that a dumb question? I guess I’m asking whats different when you walk under one than when I do? Does it ever happen with traffic lights too?
